    We had such a great experience at The Mad Claw! We ordered the Snow Crab Family Bucket, which came lwith crab, shrimp, crawfish, mussels, corn, potatoes, and sausage. Everything tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. The crab was sweet, and their spicy garlic sauce was incredible. They definitely don't skimp on the sauce either. The garlic noodles with shrimp were one of the biggest standouts for me. I honestly could not stop eating them. We also tried the loaded garlic fries, pickle bombs, and mac and cheese bites. As someone who loves pickles, the pickle bombs were so good and reminded me of a pickle version of a jalapeño popper. The mac and cheese bites were also perfect for the kids. We washed everything down with their Electric Oasis and Tropical Paradise dirty sodas, which were both delicious. The service was wonderful, and everyone made us feel welcome.

    Awesome service by Azelia!She deserves a raise!!

    Mad Cloth Review It's your girl, Christine the Realtor, out with Big Luck at The Mad Claw. Big Luck thought he was brave and ordered the hot garlic noodles. Y'all... his mouth is on FIRE. I swear you could see flames shooting out of his ears. It was so hot he had to steal my rice just to cool it down. Meanwhile, I was over here playing it smart with the medium peeled shrimp. Nice little kick, full of flavor, and I can still feel my tongue. Big Luck learned the hard way -- sometimes "medium" is the real luxury choice. Second time here. The service was good ambience is like a bar area without the bar. Music is going. It's a nice vibe.

    The end of our meal, shrimp, noodles, wings

    I love this place, the shrimps are a great sauce, the sauce is delicious and the price I think is fair! Brought my family in and we had the garlic noodles and chicken wings in addition to a pound a of shrimp. It was delicious. Service was great, we had the same waitress and she made sure we also had refills and didn't rush us. The place is spacious with lots of room and decorations and TVs. They were playing kids shows which my kiddos loved. I literally want to come here everyday lol.

    Left over shrimp and corn ! Very delicious but got full !

    Love sea food broil decided to try this place driving back home from San Diego service was good and food was great can never go wrong with a sea food broil

    Service was great since the waiter was very friendly and very helpful. They played laid-back music, which had a relaxing vibe. The shrimp was cooked perfectly well, but the potatoes were slightly rough vs. soft. The sauce was bold, spicy, and flavorful. It paired nicely with the shrimp and added a kick to the aftertaste. Will be back to try something else.

    This place is soooooo delicious! I came here on a weekday and weekend and I was assisted right away. Staff are extremely attentive and super kind. The environment is clean and aesthetic to fit the seafood boil style. I always get the peeled shrimp with potatoes and corn full house and I've tried both hot and medium- just a heads up they are . I as a spice lover thought medium was good for me. The Cajun fries are also so good and always fresh. For drinks, the fish bowl is a HIT and the miches are sooooo fire. Really enjoyed this place and will definitely be coming back, it is now my seafood boil spot! 10/10 recommend.

    I used to come here all the time but hadn't been in a while since we moved farther away. I was recently in town so decided to stop by. Service was quick and our waitress was nice. However, the food was just okay in my opinion. We ordered shrimp in their full house sauce. The sauce wasn't as good as I remembered and the shrimp was a bit overcooked.

The appetizers and side dishes were good, and we enjoyed the fries, noodles, and calamari. The only disappointment was the special sauce that comes with the crawfish and shrimp boil. The flavor wasn't what we expected and tasted more like a tomato-based sauce. Compared to places like The Boiling Crab or Kicking Crab, it lacked the buttery, garlicky, and savory flavor we were looking for. Unfortunately, the sauce was the main reason my kids and I didn't enjoy the seafood. Since the sauce is such an important part of a seafood boil, it really affected our overall experience. The food itself was fresh, and the service was fine, but we would probably choose The Boiling Crab or Kicking Crab next time.

The prices were comparable to other similar places but this place also offers all you can eat (except holidays) but we did not do this as we did not have the appetite. Plenty of parking and close to Ontario Mills. Staff were very friendly. Restaurant could use a facelift in some areas like the restroom but overall relatively clean. We ordered 2lbs medium spice house seasoned whole shrimp with corn and an egg, cucumber salad, and Cajun fries. The cucumber salad has a soy/vinegar sauce. We ordered it mainly to cut the butter/salt from the other stuff, it was decent, there was a little bitterness from the cucumber. The shrimps were nice and plump, only 1-2 were overdone at the bottom of the bag. The flavor was tasty, though I would have liked chunks of garlic in the bag to enhance more flavor. The basil was different than most places we've frequented, a welcomed surprise. Although we ordered medium spice, I think it was more on the mild side. The Cajun fries had a nice bite to them, but were simply fries with seasoned salt/Cajun seasoning on top...I've had better but they went well with the shrimps. Corn was sweet and egg was fine.

Sam did a great job taking care of us throughout our entire meal. He regularly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, including refills, extra lemons, and pepper. The service was excellent from start to finish! My wife and I ordered 2lbs. of shrimp at $17/lb, with add-ons including corn at $1.95 each, potatoes at $2.95, and 1/2 sausage for $8.95. We also had a soda for $4.50 with free refills. Our total came out to $59.05, including tax. We chose the house mix with the spicy flavor, and it was delicious! The shrimp was flavorful, and we were completely satisfied with the both the food and the service. We're definitely adding this place to our list of go-to spots and will be back again!

Our usual order is 1lb of shrimp and 1lb of mussels, and we've always been happy with it. This time, we decided to try the Combo #2 because we wanted to add crab legs. We ordered three combo bags, each with shrimp, mussels, and crab legs. Unfortunately, it didn't feel like there was anywhere close to 1lb each of shrimp and mussels in the bags. I can't prove it, so I can only share our experience, but it honestly felt like there were fewer than 15 shrimp in the bag. For the first time ever, we finished our meal and were still hungry afterward. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend ordering the combo bag. Not only did it seem like there was significantly less food, but with all the ingredients piled together, some items ended up overcooked. We were really disappointed because we've had consistently good experiences with multiple locations here over the years. Hopefully this was just an off day, but we'll be sticking with ordering the seafood separately next time.
